Killing God - Chapter 270
Chapter 270 Return To The City
In Spider Valley, Shen Shi stared at the bloody man lying on the ground for a long time. Because the thick blood smeared all over his body, completely concealing his true appearance, even until now, Shen Shi could not see the outline of this person’s appearance clearly. And lying beside the corpse of the giant Iron Wolf King Spider that had just died, this bloody man looked extremely strange.
Just as he was about to step forward and carefully examine, the Blood Man below suddenly moved again.
Shen Shi was shocked and immediately stopped.
Under his gaze, the blood man’s body began to tremble slightly. It was as if he had just woken up from a strange nightmare. After a few twists, he opened his eyes again.
Shen Shi immediately looked into his eyes, but this time, he discovered that the ghost fire in his eyes had actually disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a pair of black and white normal eyes, and at this moment, a blank expression appeared in his eyes.
The Blood Man seemed to be unable to figure out his situation. He stared blankly at the surroundings and then at Shen Shi, who was standing in front of him with a serious expression. The strange and indifferent gaze that had made Shen Shi’s heart turn cold had disappeared without a trace. Not only was it impossible for him to look at others like ants now, it was as if he was fragile as an ant.
Shen Shi quickly and keenly noticed the obvious difference in his eyes before and after this. He was even more surprised, but he still didn’t dare to neglect it. He stood a few feet away from the Blood Man and focused his attention on guarding.
The bloody man sat there for a while. The purely blank expression in his eyes began to change. The emotions within became complicated and chaotic. He could faintly see fear, despair, disgust, and even madness. Shen Shi had never seen such a chaotic gaze in a person’s eyes before. Then, the bloody man seemed to suddenly see the sticky blood on his body.
Little by little, it continued to drip slowly, dyeing the surrounding land red.
The Blood Man’s body trembled slightly. A deep and strange voice came from his mouth. Suddenly, he wiped his face with his hand. Blood splashed everywhere, wiping away large traces of blood, revealing a mottled face covered in blood.
The face of a young, somewhat familiar man.
Shen Shi’s body trembled and his pupils shrank slightly. This person was actually the Hou Sheng he had seen under the Soul Suppressing Abyss that day.
However, seeing this person at this moment, Shen Shi felt a sudden chill in his heart. All the signs on that day had already indicated that Hou Sheng had probably already suffered from the evil hands of the voodoo ghost, especially the ghost flames in his eyes. This was the most prominent feature of the ghost ghost. This was absolutely not wrong.
However, although Hou Sheng’s eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, they seemed to belong to an ordinary person. They were completely different from ghosts that had no intelligence and only knew how to drink blood. What was going on?
Hou Sheng wiped his face. Just as his palm left his face, the bloody blood on his palm was reflected in his eyes. It was so dazzling red that it seemed to pierce into the depths of his heart. His body suddenly began to tremble. As his gaze turned, he saw the corpse of the Iron Wolf King Spider lying not far away. Then he seemed to suddenly recall some terrifying memories. His entire body trembled violently. Suddenly, he let out a miserable and terrifying scream. He was half-seated on the ground, his hands and feet retreating with all his might. It was as if he did not even have the courage to stand up. He desperately wanted to leave that terrifying demonic beast.
He cried and howled as he retreated. After retreating for a distance, his body suddenly trembled again. Then, he suddenly rolled over and knelt on the ground. He began to vomit violently.
The blood on his body was still dripping non-stop, making his fear seem particularly dazzling. Shen Shi slowly frowned. He was thoughtful and stared at Hou Sheng. After pondering for a moment, he probed and slowly walked towards him.
However, he had only just taken a few steps when Hou Sheng, who was on the other side, seemed to be suddenly shocked. He looked at him in panic, and as if he had seen a demon, he let out an extremely frightened shout, then turned around and ran away.
Shen Shi was stunned to a halt. He discovered that although Hou Sheng’s strange state was unknown, his speed was astonishingly fast. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the Spider Valley in a few moves. After a moment of hesitation, he was unable to catch up.
By the time he reached the entrance of the valley, Hou Sheng’s figure had already disappeared into the dense and luxuriant forest. There was no longer any movement. He did not know where he had gone to hide in this vast forest.
At this moment, Shen Shi’s heart was filled with doubt. He was puzzled by Hou Sheng’s current situation. He said that he was a flexible person, right? Not long ago, there were still ghosts and flames in his eyes. He was already a ghost, but the expression on his face was clearly still a living person?
But what was going on?
Shen Shi stood at the entrance of the valley and looked at the vast forest for a long time before slowly shaking his head. He turned around, but his brows were still tightly knitted.
Since Hou Sheng had already run away, Tracking is not easy, He just ignored him, And this Spider Valley isn’t a good place to stay, He walked back quickly, He glanced at the corpse of the Iron Wolf King Spider that had died and shook his head with some regret. High-tier demonic beasts above rank four were completely different from ordinary low-tier demonic beasts. It could be said that their entire bodies were full of treasures and they could use a lot of spirit materials. However, it was precisely because of the exceptional toughness of the high-tier demonic beast’s body that he was helpless against this Iron Wolf King Spider.
First of all, he didn’t have a Spirit Weapon Immortal Blade that could cut through iron like mud. If he couldn’t cut through the demonic beast’s body, then he couldn’t split it apart. The Iron Wolf King Spider’s body was too large, so it couldn’t fit in a Ruyi bag, so he could only give up. The Iron Wolf King Spider had a lot of spirit materials available on its body. The poison pouch and eight sharp and hard knuckles could be sold for a high price, but the knuckles could not be cut off. The poison pouch was on its head. It had been smashed apart by Shen Shi’s Heavenly Lightning Strike just now.
Fortunately, Shen Shi had already obtained the most precious and important treasure of this high-grade demonic beast, the Demonic Pill. With this Demonic Pill, its value had already surpassed all the remaining items. Therefore, Shen Shi was not particularly heartbroken.
He quickly walked past the Iron Wolf King Spider’s corpse and walked towards the cave where Little Hei had run into. At the same time, he shouted, “Little Hei, what are you doing? We’re leaving.”
As he spoke, He walked into the cave, At a glance, he saw the milky white spider silk scattered all over the cave. Just like the one outside the valley, It seemed to be the cave where the Iron Wolf King Spider normally lived, There were also many eerie white skeletons scattered in the cave. They seemed to be the corpses of prey that had died in the mouth of the Iron Wolf King Spider. However, looking around, the corpses here were mostly beasts. There were no human-shaped skeletons. It seemed that this valley was located in the depths of the mountain. That was why no one was injured.
At this moment, Little Hei was running around in the cave, sniffing and sniffing. Occasionally, he would kick away a few bones and dig the ground for a while, leaving behind a shallow pit. There were already more than ten or twenty such pits in the cave. It was unknown what Little Hei had found in the cave, or what he had gained from it.
Shen Shi shouted at Little Hei. Little Hei turned around and looked around. He muttered twice. It seemed that he had found almost everything he needed. Only then did he lazily run back to Shen Shi’s feet and rubbed his leg with his head.
Shen Shi squatted down and looked at the little fellow’s gray face. He reached out and patted the pig’s head, shook off the dirt stones, and then frowned, “What are you looking for?”
Xiao Hei’s mouth twitched a few times. He grinned and snorted, but he didn’t show anything. He turned around and walked out of the cave. Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. He lost his laughter for a moment. He got up and lightly kicked his butt. He laughed and scolded,
“Good fellow, do you know how to hide treasures now? Show me what it is? Uh, what are you running for …”
Little Hei snorted and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he ran out. Shen Shi smiled and shook his head. He also followed it out of the valley.
④
In the following days, Little Hei did not have any other branches. Shen Shi took it all the way south and walked out of the forest. Then, he went down the mountain. Finally, a few days later, he traveled all the way back to Floating Cloud City.
After coming out of the teleportation array, Liuyun City’s bustling noise seemed to rush over, carrying a familiar and intimate smell. Shen Shi took a deep breath and felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart. However, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised afterwards. He thought to himself, when did he actually see this city as if he wanted to go home?
It was said that he had the feeling of returning home, but in reality, Shen Shi did not have his own residence in this big city. The place that truly belonged to him should be the cave on Golden Rainbow Mountain. Perhaps reaching Liuyun City would be equivalent to returning to Golden Rainbow Mountain soon.
However, when Shen Shi arrived in Liuyun City, he did not intend to return to the mountain immediately. The biggest purpose of this trip was naturally to find and save Little Hei. At this moment, the Little Hei pig was following him unharmed and looking curiously at the streets of the city. The most important thing was to do it well. Apart from that, Shen Shi had also obtained some harvests from his trip to the Gaoling Mountains. Among them, obtaining the Tier 4 Demonic Beast Iron Wolf King Spider’s demonic core was the most precious.
Demon Core was a rare and precious spirit material, Can be used as medicine, can be refined into pills, where formations and talismans can be used in all aspects, It was even rumored that there were some strange and mysterious inheritances of cultivation methods that would directly devour demon cores to increase one’s cultivation. As for how the berserk Spiritual Energy contained in the demon cores was digested by those cultivators that were completely different from the human body, it was a secret that no one knew.
It was precisely because demon cores had such a wide range of uses that after the rise of the human race, the path of cultivation flourished. Very quickly, in densely populated areas, high-grade demon beasts disappeared and were almost extinct. The hunt and hunt of the human race was the biggest reason. Currently, if one wanted to find a demon pill, they would often need to go deep into barren lands and wilderness in order to find high-grade demon beasts and hunt for demon pills. Therefore, the price of demon pills on the market had always been high.
Shen Shi was also very clear about this, so he prepared to look at the price of demon cores in the major shops in Floating Cloud City. If he was not wrong, the purchase price of such high-grade spirit materials in the large shops like the Divine Immortal Society would probably be much higher than that in the Lingxiao Sect.
Shen Shi stayed in Floating Cloud City for a few days. during which he visited a number of large shops with prosperous business, The nearby examiner inquired about the price of the Demon Pill. Finally, they arrived at the busiest shop in the South Treasure Square and found a few shops. Sure enough, every shop owner became extremely enthusiastic the moment they heard that there were demonic pills. The price they offered was not low, and it was even higher than Shen Shi had expected. The shop with the highest bid had even shouted for 2,500 spirit crystals.
However, Shen Shi still didn’t make a move. It wasn’t that he was too ambitious or had any other thoughts. It was just that there was one last place he hadn’t visited in this bustling and lively street, and that was the Divine Immortal Gathering.
If he hadn’t been to the shops of the Divine Immortal Society, he would have felt that there was something wrong with someone like him who had grown up in the shops and was familiar with the Cultivation Market.
Therefore, he finally walked out and promised the boss that he would come back if the price was still the highest here. Then, he walked towards the largest and magnificent shop in the house on the long street.
Under the golden plaque of the Divine Immortal Gathering, the crowd was still bustling.
④
At the same time, far away from Floating Cloud City, in a remote forest, a person with a dirty appearance and an unsightly body was standing at the edge of the forest, staring at the huge city from afar.
This expression was exactly the same as Hou Sheng, who had disappeared from the mountain that day.
He didn’t know exactly how he came to the outskirts of Zhongliuyun City from the mountains, but Hou Sheng’s expression, including his gaze, was still very complicated and chaotic. He looked at the city with a sense of confusion, as if he was desperately recalling something, but he couldn’t remember the past.
However, his gaze was somewhat dull, but when he faintly looked at the city, a trace of inexplicable attachment and warmth flashed through his eyes. However, this little bit of warmth was so fragile that it quickly disappeared from his chaotic gaze.
Hou Sheng abruptly cupped his head. He howled like a wild beast. It seemed to be extremely painful. He even used his head to hit the tree trunk beside him. A moment later, he seemed to be completely in a daze of pain. He no longer looked at the city. Instead, he howled and staggered into the depths of the forest, disappearing into the forest.
